Comment: I had a horrible cough for three weeks. Saw doctor twice and took prednisone, super anti-biotics, cough syrup, antihistamines... all with no results. Found Alka Seltzer cough and cold and relief was immediate. Finally feel better.

Comment:I took one dose of the Night time version of this medication when a colleague gave it to me when I had sinus and cough problems. I was in a hotel out of town and ended up fainting and cutting my head open with no recollection of the event.

I've had heart tests following the problem in the hotel and they have not identified any problem, so I am avoiding Alka Seltzer Plus night cold medicine. Hide Full Comment

Comment: Taking this during the day then the night time version before bed. Taste isn't too bad. Works really well; you don't realize how well until it wears off! Minimal 'medicine head' effect.

Comment: I had been using DayQuil and NyQuil fighting the Flu for a week now with limited results (they normally work well for me), but a co-worker gave me an Alka-Seltzer at work yesterday.

After about 30 minutes, I felt better than I had in a week. Last night I took the Alka Seltzer Plus Cold & Cough PM and got a peaceful full nights sleep. When I woke up this morning, I didn't have the medicine hangover that I normally get from NyQuil. I can't believe how much better it has made me feel. Hide Full Comment
